The television set is turned to a loud volume.

The dining room table has low chairs with no armrests.

The bedroom extension cord is placed under a heavy nightstand.

The living room contains wall-to-wall carpeting.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.   The television set turned to a loud volume may not necessarily pose a safety hazard unless it disturbs others in the household or contributes to hearing damage. However, it is not a direct safety concern for the client.
B.   The dining room table having low chairs with no armrests could present a challenge for older adults when sitting down or getting up, but it is not an immediate safety hazard.
C.   The bedroom extension cord placed under a heavy nightstand is a safety hazard because it poses a risk of electrical fire if the cord becomes damaged or overloaded. The nurse should
intervene to relocate the extension cord to a safer location.

D. The presence of wall-to-wall carpeting in the living room is not necessarily a safety hazard unless it is loose or torn, posing a tripping hazard. However, it is not explicitly described as such in the scenario.
